Chapter 5 - Synchronous Mode Operation
This chapter introduces you to the use of the Omni 288S for synchronous
operation. The modem can be used as a synchronous modem when it is connected
to a synchronous computer or terminal. It is of course necessary to make sure that
the remote modem and system are also set to synchronous. Synchronous operation
applies to all of the non-FSK modes the modem is supplied with. Before
synchronous transfers are started, some initial settings should be made.

V.25bis Command Set

To enable V.25bis commands use the AT*I1 command.
For synchronous applications, the modem is permanently set in normal situations
for use with one application. Save the desired settings in the power-on profile,
and the modem will be initialized to synchronous mode (&M3) with V.25bis
command enabled (*I1) when turned it is turned on.
A special command RST is provided to get the modem back to asynchronous AT
command mode from V.25bis mode. You can enter this RST command in either
synchronous or asynchronous V.25bis mode.
